Re: Overblows - Further Guidance

<What's an easy way to do Overblows?  I hear you can't on Oskars???>

Oskars will overblow, but I think they might be a little easier for some on
Golden Melody's.  The following works on every harp I've bothered trying it
on (including Oskars.)

An easy way to get your first overblow is to remove the reedplates and mute
the low reed in the hole (1-6) you want to overblow, or (7-10) overdraw.

Overblowing is not done by most harmonicists, even the best ones.  It's a
rather difficult new technique, and requires a fair amount of practice to
master.  Then - you have to learn what to do with them musically :-)
